Sports Betting Sites, Do the Research

Sports betting sites have become all the rage, with many sports enthusiasts looking for a way to place bets on their favorite teams from hockey to football. Now sports junkies can hop online anywhere and log into one of these membership sites and place a bid. The process is fast and simple and offers people the ability to do all their betting without ever leaving their computer or phone. Most of the sites offer a free alert service, which lets betters know when the team they have chosen is ready to play, offering the chance to place a bet. This is the betting company’s way of making sure that people never miss a chance to gamble.

Entertainment in the palm of the hand is the key to the success of the sports betting sites on the Internet. These sites allow individuals to place their bet easily and quickly, with little more than the click of a mouse or by pressing a button on a phone. Choosing the right site is a matter of personal preference and great care should be taken when releasing personal information. Never give out information that is personal without knowing that the site is trustworthy. Before selecting a site, it is a good idea to do a little due diligence and research on the available sites.

Doing an internet search on the various bidding sites will surely yield sufficient results to get started on the search for sports betting sites that fit the individual needs. This will allow people to review past and present betters’ perceptions of the available membership sports betting sites before jumping in and giving away any information. The research will be well worth the time and effort put into them. It could mean the difference between enjoying placing a bet on a favorite game and losing every penny ever earned through identity theft of the individual.

Home Remedies For Tonsillitis

Fever, chills and soar throat. That’s how my week went. Three days of fever and thought it was flu. My soar throat hurts and I thought it was phlegm. Turns out it was Tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis (also pharyngotonsillitis or tonsillopharyngitis) is an inflammation of the tonsils most commonly caused by viral or bacterial infection. It is a type of pharyngitis. Symptoms of tonsillitis include sore throat and fever. While no treatment has been found to shorten the duration of viral tonsillitis, bacterial causes may be treatable with antibiotics. (wikipedia)

Ewe.. and I hate it most that I can’t drink coffee or eat sweets. ugh ugh ugh.

On my third day of fever and chills, I went to the hospital and just as I suspected, Tonsillitis indeed. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic but also advice some Home Remedies For Tonsillitis:

Gargle with mouthwash two times a day. One in the morning and one in the evening.
In between gargle with hot water and salt solution (a glass of tolerable hot water and 1 teaspoon rock salt). Do this at least 6 times a day, each gargle should be at least 10 seconds,
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid salty, chili, sweet and sour dishes.
Drinking honey with a teaspoon of lemon juice will soothe the throat.
Avoid soda and coffee, stick to water as much as possible.

Now, with the cares above plus the antibiotic, I am having coffee again! (I know.. but.. coffee is… love)

Corned Beef And Shrimp

“WOW! CORNED BEEF!”, exclaimed my 5 year old boy. You can see the delight in his face, oh well, his excitement is obvious in his tone. Corned beef is his favorite meal. If I want him to wake up, I just cook corned beef. The smell of it is very appetizing to him and the redness of the meal is very appealing to him. He liked it on egg, as omelet. He liked it with onions and he even like it on bread. Mico, my second born child is a corned beef kid.

Kayil , my first born son, likes shrimp. He can do shrimp everyday. I am just glad that my seafoods intolerance was not passed down to him. He loves shrimp in sinigang, saute with garlic and chili or plain buttered shrimp. He got it from his dad who’s stable food is seafoods and beef. Other than shrimp he also like crab. And again, I am glad that he does not share the same food intolerance with me.

Corned beef and shrimp, what a great combination (that’s sarcasm there). And both are not cheap, I tell you. Mico only likes one brand of corned beef (yep the most expensive local brand) and we also like it as much (that’s triple the cost). Shrimp can cost 500 PhP or more per kilograms and Kayil can finish 1/4 kg in one sitting. And if I want them to eat a lot of rice everyday, this is what I should prepare everyday. That is not budget friendly.

Finances aside, I don’t think these foods are providing enough nutrients for my kids. Can you just imagine, corned beef and shrimp. Both may have some nutrients, but I know it’s not just enough. In fact,my first born son is on the lower line in terms of height and weight. I think we need to focus more on his calorie intakes and calcium intake.

How about you mommies? What are the favorite meals of your kids?
